The Martin Margiela Replica Sneaker is Made with Real Paper

The Martin Margiela Replica Sneaker was inspired by the classic 1970s rubber sole Austrian sneaker. Made in Italy, from soft calf leather, the sneaker features a paper application made with real paper that gives the clean and simple shoe a shabby-chic feel.

Martin Margiela is no stranger to distressed sneakers, and this addition to the footwear collection complements his previous paint-splattered shoes.

Implications - Many brands are opting for a more natural, organic look when it comes to presenting their product. Consumers are bombarded with flashy imagery every day, so it helps if brands can take the minimalist approach for a more peaceful aesthetic, which is an attribute many can appreciate in their busy lives.
